I feel isolated!!!!!

I feel like i don't belong in this world and i don't know what to do. My mental health is really bad. I also get thoughts that could risk my life. I have no one at home who i can talk to about this. I keep suffering in silence and i keep things to myself it and it's making me feel like something is weighing me down.
I also feel emotionally and physically weak. I feel like i'm slowly dying and i feel like i'm hanging on the edge with my life.

Hi there @#love2learn,

Life sounds really painful for you right now and you’ve been so brave to share your thoughts. When someone feels as though they don’t belong in the world, it can seem impossible to even imagine that one day they will find their place and feel differently.
You mentioned experiencing thoughts that could risk your life- are you thinking about suicide? If so, please remember that there is help and there is hope. You shared that you have been suffering in silence and it sounds as though it’s time for that to change. You are not alone. If you are thinking about suicide and would like some support and advice, please take a look here. You can also speak to a Suicide Prevention Advisor at HOPELINEUK by calling 0800 068 4141.

Stay Safe,

I don't have anyone to talk to whatsoever and I am isolated 24/7 and it's depressing. You're not alone. Well you are but you know what I mean.
You have taken the first step by posting this! Hopefully there will be many more replies after mine. I am also a sufferer of Mental Health and all I can say to you suffering in isolation is that even if you did have people around you, from experience, they wouldn't truly understand what you are going through.

They only would if they suffered the same thing, my advice to you is to reach out to call up your local counselling services. Admittedly, they can't offer you much help in terms of psychological help but they can refer you to a specialist.

To get a better understanding, what is making you feel the way you do? And why? Give me a little bit of an insight into your situation as that will help. Are you studying? Working? Living with parents or on your own? Are you having money troubles? What about the last relationship you had, friend or a partner.

I have been through a lot of emotional pain. I'm in secondary school so i live with my parents. I have been hurt (emotionally) many times.

Do you think I should talk to a teacher?

Yeah I do
By who? Is it your own anxiety and feelings about yourself? Is it evil thoughts about harming others (we are animals so this is quite natural, as long as you don't act on them!) Or is it how you look, do you feel ugly? In a world so full of judgement, we as humans have found this is the way we survive now- we no longer have to hunt or do anything we should be doing as animals, instead we view appearance as a way of survival.

Is it fitting in? Trouble with girls or boys? What sort of emotional pain is it?

You should go to the GP and ask for some help with that.

Partially. I have been bullied and have been made to feel this way. This guy was being really controlling by telling me where to look and where to not look etc. He has made me feel worthless. He's living his best life and i'm over here suffering 24/7. Its been sorted my one of my lovely teachers. But i don't know whether I should tell him that i'm still suffering even though he has sorted it out for me. This all happend last year but i'm still suffering.

Yeah but i can't. I hate seeking medical advice.

Trust me, unless you get help it won't change much. I get what your feeling. Been trying to drag myself there for years. You could try to write it down and give it to the person the paper.

Yes you should, I was getting bullied and I was like you, but When I told my parents the bullies got excluded and I was getting so angry and I built confidence once and screamed in the whole class and everyone took me serious.

That would be good. See what they do and say but do consider going to the GP as they can offer you a lot of help
Talking to a teacher could certainly be a good place to start. Is there a teacher you have in mind that you could have this conversation with?

Sticking up for yourself is crucial, I learnt this quite quickly especially at school. Recognise what it is the other person is doing, and if they come at you, my advice to you is unleash whatever you have within you onto them- if it takes beating them then so be it. Have you ever considered boxing? This will give you confidence within yourself, it will teach you how to defend yourself and it will allow you to recognise you can handle yourself. Trust me on that one.

I would definitely recommend telling your teacher about how you feel, I didn't for so long and things just got worse. School was a battleground for me daily, I had no self worth and my anxiety was sky high. You need to tell people. Mental health is not a joke, nor should you take it lightly.

There are others out there suffering the same things as you, you are not alone. Set yourself a goal and work towards it. You also haven't explained exactly what it is you are going through, so it is a little hard to give any sort of advice.
